In recent years I’ve been discovering the benefits of ginger and turmeric. I normally serve myself a large cup of hot ginger and turmeric first thing. Last year I started to use it in chicken leg soup. We all enjoyed this dish so I decided to add these ingredients to another noodle soup recipe. The dish was packed with nutrients and protein but best of all it was loaded with flavour. Of course I had to share the recipe with you.

On the Hob Chicken Noodle Soup was a yummy meal that we all enjoyed. It was easy to prepare and cook. As I mentioned above I have made similar recipes in the past. To be honest, I loved those recipes but I think this is my favourite as it’s quick and easy. You can make double of the recipe and freeze it too. Plus the leftovers were delicious as well. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
